Cool that's what is needed, why are the Fedora-guys ignore DVB ?

It's a little bit annoying that Fedora doesn't seems to be the right
platform at the moment for DVB (but i want to stay with my redhat).

So what's needed to make DVB run with udev under FC3 ?

cat permissions.d/00-udev.permissions | grep -i dvb
# DVB devices
dvb/*:$local:video:0660
dvb:$local:video:0660
dvb/adapter*:$local:video:0660

cat rules.d/06-dvb.rules
KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"

cat scripts/dvb.sh
#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e
's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'
